These pages from the last issue of SUPERMAN BATMAN. They cover the idea that some "regular" citizens aren't happy with what Batman "did" to Gotham City.

Providing that this is how Waid intends to keep it, of course, but I really hope he does...

Hulk: Season One - Part One

I've been on a bit of an Iron Man and Hulk blitz of late, and I've been catching up on a lot of trades and issues via my local library and local comic shop. The "Season One" series that Marvel has been publishing lately is a set of hardcover graphic novels that provide updated origin stories for their major characters.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Again?"
I admit that I was a bit hesitant about picking this up, because it was a 100 page hardcover with a pretty hefty price, and it didn't seem like it was covering anything new. Then my library got it in, and I read it and then went out and bought it straight after, because dammit, I wanted my own copy, expense be damned. This is an awesome little story, which recounts the original Hulk origin with some nifty twists and shows a Bruce Banner who's damaged but resolute and brilliant.
( Trigger warning for child abuse here - this does touch on Bruce Banner's childhood and it's pretty awful. )
That's it for now, but I'll post another part later, because there are lots of cool bits!
